Is there any problem changing to a different string gauge?

0

Minor changes in string gauge usually don’t require adjustment. When the string gauge change is significant, you may need to have the truss rod adjusted to compensate for different string tension on the neck. In some cases, the nut may require additional filing or perhaps replacement if it is already worn. Minor adjustments to the bridge may also be required. You can refer to a local qualified luthier or repairman, or call L.A.
